i want to remotely ssh to my home server, and I was wondering if I could just forward port 22 with disabling password login and use pubkey authentication will be safe enough?

Yes and no.

Yes if you have the resources to monitor and update. Companies have entire teams dedicated to this.

No if you don't have the resources/time to keep up with it regularly.

IMO, no need to take this risk when you have services like Tailscale available today.
